Pulsecaster

Simple PulseAudio-based tool for making podcast interviews

Thanks to Harry Karvonen for his Python ctypes-based bindings for
PulseAudio. Thanks also to Jürgen Geuter for helping me understand
distutils and contributing some fixes.

Instructions

If you are looking at the source, 'cd' to the top of this project and
then run the following command to try it out:

$ cd pulsecaster
$ python ui.py

Advanced Tips

The code currently contains a very hacky function to allow you to
record to FLAC (the Free Lossless Audio Codec) instead of Ogg Vorbis,
which is the default. To turn that capability on, run this command:

Installing

The easiest way to use this application is to simply install it using
your platform's preferred tool set. To install it using Fedora, run
the folowing command:

pkcon install pulsecaster

To install it on another flavor of Linux, check the documentation for
your particular distribution.

To install directly from this source code, use the handy "distutils"
script that's provided:

$ python setup.py build
$ python setup.py install

You'll need the following pieces of software installed to use
PulseCaster. The best way to install PulseCaster is to use your
operating system's built-in utility for adding and removing software.
(For instance, on Fedora this would be the Software tool, or dnf.) The
package names for your distribution may be slightly different.
